Comfortable but pretty underwear?

6 replies

I’m in desperate need of new bra’s and possibly matching knickers. I mainly live in unwired sports bras/crop tops but would like something a bit prettier and something that will give my boobs a bit of a lift. I am a C cup, sometimes a D depending on what shop with a wide 38” back. I find underwires bras uncomfortable but not sure I can get lift without one?

Anyone recommend a brand that will tick all my boxes?

Try Lounge Underwear, I've got a few of their sets, the quality's pretty good and they're comfortable

M and S Rosie range would fit your bill. Lots of knicker and bra mix and match options. I find it very comfortable.

firstly, are you absolutely sure youre in the right size, as its really common for people to wear badly fitting bras and that will be uncomfortable in itself as the wires and stuff will be pressing in the wrong places, but of course bra sizes can differ from brand to brand, so its not always easy to get a good fit. Once youve found one that fits well though, it can be easier to find others that have similar fit.
What is comfortable, will generally differ from person to person too, according to your own shape.

for me, my comfiest wired bras (that come in your size) are definitely

which gives brilliant cleavage. I find the plunge really comfortable as i hate things pressing on my sternum, so i dont like balconettes, but if your breasts are quite soft, you might find they fall to the middle a bit, so its trial and error.

gossard glossies I love as they feel like youre hardly wearing anything, and they also give quite a natural shape.

you could probably get either of these cheaper on ebay

I did get measured a couple years ago and was shocked I measured at a D cup after I had been wearing a B or C, but now I buy a D and my boobs don’t fill the cups so maybe I should get measured again? My weight changes a lot and my boobs are the first place to be effected.

I have ordered some from M&S to try and the looked comfortable and more supportive than what I have.
